9.6.3
In nonhazardous locations, a commercial static electric
dissipating screen that overlays the CRT screen can be used to
drain the static electric charge by means of a connection to
ground. The ground connection from the overlay should be
secure to prevent shock or an ignition-capable spark. One safe
procedure for reducing the charge on the CRT screen is to wipe
the screen with a water-wet cloth or tissue immediately before
using any solvent-based cleaners. This action will drain off the
excess charge through the operator’s body. Ideally, nonflamma-
ble or low-volatility cleaning agents should be used.
